Young Sends One Out With a Straight

Level 5 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Heads-up in a raised pot on a flop of 6♠Q♦10♣, the player in middle position checked to Maxwell Young, who bet 16,000. His opponent called.

Young's opponent then check-called a 40,000 bet from Young on the 7♦ turn before leading out for 55,000 on the 8♥ river.

Young responded by shoving, which was enough to put his opponent all in for his last 140,000 behind. Young's opponent burned up several time extensions contemplating his decision, but eventually decided to look Young up.

Young showed K♣9♣ for a straight and his opponent mucked his hand before sliding his stack over to Young.
